Abstract: A bonding technology is disclosed that can form an anodic, conductive bond between two optically transparent substrates. The anodic bond may be accompanied by a metal alloy, solder, eutectic and polymer bond. The first anodic bond may provide one attribute such as hermeticity, whereas the second bond may provide another attribute, such as electrical conductivity.

Abstract: A method for forming through silicon vias (TSVs) in a silicon substrate is disclosed. The method involves forming a silicon post as an annulus in a first side of a silicon substrate, removing material from an opposite side to the level of the annulus, removing the silicon post and replacing it with a metal material to form a metal via extending through the thickness of the substrate.

Abstract: A method for forming through substrate vias (TSVs) in a non-conducting, glass substrate is disclosed. The method involves patterning a silicon template substrate with a plurality of lands and spaces, bonding a slab or wafer of glass to the template substrate, and melting the glass so that it flows into the spaces formed in the template substrate. The template substrate may then be removed to leave a plurality of TSVs in the glass slab or wafer.

Abstract: A MEMS-based system and a method are described for separating a target particle from the remainder of a fluid stream. The system makes use of a unique, microfabricated movable structure formed on a substrate, which moves in a rotary fashion about one or more fixed points, which are all located on one side of the axis of motion. The movable structure is actuated by a separate force-generating apparatus, which is entirely separate from the movable structure formed on its substrate. This allows the movable structure to be entirely submerged in the sample fluid.

Abstract: Systems and methods for forming an electrostatic MEMS plate switch include forming a deformable plate on a first substrate, forming the electrical contacts on a second substrate, and coupling the two substrates using a hermetic seal. A two-fold symmetric switch may be formed by a primary, secondary, and optionally tertiary set of voids formed in the movable plate. These voids may define the spring beams which provide a stable and reliable restoring force to the switch.

Abstract: The method described here uses gray scale lithography to form curve surfaces in photoresist. These surfaces can be of arbitrary shape since the remaining resist following exposure and develop is dependent on the exposure dose, which is controlled precisely by the opacity of the photo-mask. The process may include a silicon etch step, followed by a photoresist etch step to form an etching cycle. Each etch cycle may form a pair of substantially orthogonal stepped surfaces, with a characteristic “rise” and “run.”

Abstract: A transceiver and interconnect for connecting a plurality of optical cables. In one embodiment, optical sources are joined to a plurality of fiber optic output cables. The structures may use a plurality of ball lenses to collimate the diverging light from the source and launch it down one of the plurality of fibers. Through holes in a silicon substrate may allow the radiation to pass, and these features may be made very precisely.

Abstract: We describe here a scanning optical beam that is comprised of no moving parts The device includes a plurality of microfabricated beam shaping elements disposed in an array wherein each microfabricated beam shaping element is registered with a microfabricated light source but has an optical axis that is offset from the optical axis of the light source by a different amount, wherein the amount is a function of the distance from a center of the arrays. A method of operating the scanning optical beam is also described.
